  1. Appropriate Use of Lockers

    I gotta say I've only needed both lockers twice and both times were pulling someone out of or through the snow. A friend buried the s#!t out of his RZR in a snow bank and my son's GF's F150 decided to die during a snowstorm. The disco on the other hand gets used a lot.
  2. Clutch Recall (2/23/23): Clutch Pressure Plate May Overheat -- Affecting 70,000 Manual Jeep Wranglers and Gladiators

    Just throwing in my 2 cents, I guess you guys know my Jeep better than I do.
  3. Clutch Recall (2/23/23): Clutch Pressure Plate May Overheat -- Affecting 70,000 Manual Jeep Wranglers and Gladiators

    Thought the same thing with the throttle response (or lack there of) maybe not the more throttle with less pedal, but there does seem to be less lag. Plus I'm not getting the herky jerky shifts between 1 and 2 due to lapses in my timing at all anymore, actually feels like the pressure plate...
  4. Air Lift 1000 Install - Quick and Easy

    Way back in the late 1,900's I used a set in the front coils and bastard packed the rear leaf springs to lift my 87 XJ. I beat the hell out of the XJ, they never failed. I did, in fact fly for short distances on several occasions. Best budget lift ever for a poor 20 something punk kid. I...
  5. Clutch Recall (2/23/23): Clutch Pressure Plate May Overheat -- Affecting 70,000 Manual Jeep Wranglers and Gladiators

    Shared this on another thread, I think it explains a few of the issues. https://www.motor1.com/features/710641/building-manual-cars-is-hard/
  6. Clutch Recall (2/23/23): Clutch Pressure Plate May Overheat -- Affecting 70,000 Manual Jeep Wranglers and Gladiators

    I do most of my own mechanic work, nothing pisses me off more than I'm too lazy to pressure wash it first 🤣 But... $170, they should have detailed the whole rig.
  7. Six speed manual versus eight speed, automatic, disadvantages and advantages

    Interesting article, might help explain some of the issues. https://www.motor1.com/features/710641/building-manual-cars-is-hard/
  8. Any Other Sig Sauer Owners Here?

    Looking at Sig Optics for my varmit gun, does that count? Rumor has it they bought the Nikon scope division hence thier Buckmaster line. I've had great luck with all my Nikon glass.
  9. Six speed manual versus eight speed, automatic, disadvantages and advantages

    Seriously, I got into a spat with an "expert" MT guy on Reddit about how horrible the manual was. He couldn't understand why he had to constantly shift in traffic, why he couldn't pull hills 6th gear, the MT in his car was so much better, bla bla. Really pissed him off when I said, maybe it's...
  10. Six speed manual versus eight speed, automatic, disadvantages and advantages

    Couldn't agree more. I had a 22 Sport altitude for all of 4 months before it was totaled/murdered and even the 3.45's were doable, not great but doable. I've had my 23 JLUR for a year and 14,000 miles and I've never once wish I'd bought an auto. Another thing people forget, the 3.6 loves...
  11. What problems have you encountered since owning a Wrangler?

    The trick is to quietly buy those parts and install when the spouse isn't looking. Then play dumb and insist that it came with the Jeep 🤫
  12. What problems have you encountered since owning a Wrangler?

    I know, I'll be bithin about how hot is in no time 😂
  13. What problems have you encountered since owning a Wrangler?

    One year, 14K miles, zero issues, knock on wood. OK, I lied, it snowed today and I still have the hard top on.
  14. Clutch Recall (2/23/23): Clutch Pressure Plate May Overheat -- Affecting 70,000 Manual Jeep Wranglers and Gladiators

    Alright, my turn. 14,000 miles on my 23 JLUR when I had mine done. I talked to the mechanic briefly before I dropped it off, he said he'd already replaced several with zero mechanical or software related issues, made me feel a little better. It was done while I was on vacation so no idea...
  15. What would it take to get you to trade your Wrangler for a Bronco??

    What? You don't like those Rubbermaid trashcan fenders 🤣
  16. Bourbon talk...

    My brother's buddy works for the Idaho State Liquor Dispensary, he pooled together 14 different bottles of Bourbon for a three round taste test over the course of three weekends with a good sized group friends. Long story short, apparently they need to repeat the first round with considerably...
  17. 19A Recall Tracking Spreadsheet - Clutch Recall (2/23/23) - Please help the community by sharing your recall experience

    I had my 23 JLUR recall done while on vacation so I have no idea how long it took but it's done and it works. Obviously the clutch isn't broken in yet but it does seem smoother between shifts and taking off from a dead stop and there does seem to be more pedal "feel". Not a huge though. I did...
  18. Clutch Recall (2/23/23): Clutch Pressure Plate May Overheat -- Affecting 70,000 Manual Jeep Wranglers and Gladiators

    I'd bet in a pinch you could drop the pressure in the 35's and run that 33.5 up to 40 or 50 psi and it would get you home. It'd be wonky but doable. Oh and run the oddball in the rear.
  19. Clutch Recall (2/23/23): Clutch Pressure Plate May Overheat -- Affecting 70,000 Manual Jeep Wranglers and Gladiators

    You're telling me there is false information on Facebook, I don't believe it 🤣😂
  20. Why we hate dealers and buying cars

    Another, thanks to @Rathbert for the spreadsheet and Kent at Peterson Jeep in Nampa, ID for throwing the order together. 0 issues at 11 months and 13K miles. I should add that the finance guy was great too. He showed me the extended warranty options, I said no thankyou, he typed up the deal...
